A New Type of Fiber-induced Optically Controllable Silicon-loaded Millimeter Waveguide Switch

In this paper,a new type of optically controllable silicon slab loaded E-plane millimeterwave rectangular waveguide switch is presented.It uses SELFOC lens to couple optical puls-es to silicon slab with optical fiber.The on/off ratio reaches 42dB,the front fringe of suchkind swith is less than 0.05μs,and the insertion loss is less than 1dB in the full band of 26.5GHz to 40GHz.

纳米平板硅波导的特性研究

基于麦克斯韦方程和数值计算方法对芯层厚度在纳米尺度的空气包层电介质光波导的导波特性进行了分析。编程得到了包层、芯区、衬底三部分各自能量的比例关系;有效折射率随芯区厚度变化的规律;群折射率和群速度随波长变化的规律;以及色散曲线。并将结果与微米尺度的情况进行了比较、讨论,发现由于芯区尺寸的减小,使得模场向外泄露,耦合性增强。这对于纳米尺度光子器件的设计和制造具有重要的意义。
